The Bengston Method™

The method Ben and Bill developed together, which was used to cure cancer in mice and has anecdotally cured many conditions in humans, is based on mental image cycling. When Bill and the Bengston Method practitioners he has trained practice cycling as a form of healing for humans, they recommend that the healee also practice cycling to have “skin in the game.” Try it yourself if you feel inspired!

1. Make a list of at least twenty of your ego’s greatest desires. Be selfish! The items must be measurable, something you will know to check off your list if you fulfill the desires.

2. Take each item on your list and translate it into one image. If I want a red bicycle, I might see an image of myself riding one, coasting down a hill.

3. Boil down each image into one word or phrase. My one word might be bicycle.

4. Make a list of your one-word images.

5. Spend time “savoring” each image. Take at least ten to fifteen minutes per image to allow yourself to imagine feeling all the emotions and sensations you might feel if you were fulfilling this desire, acting “as if” in your mind’s eye.

6. Cycle the images. This is the challenging part. Flash each image through your mind’s eye like a slideshow. Start with one image per second. It’s hard to explain how to cycle the images without listening to Bill explain it in depth. It’s not a memory exercise—randomize the images in your consciousness, as if you’re shuffling the deck.

7. Speed up the pace of the cycling. When he teaches this technique, Bill starts by playing a drum slowly. Boom . . . boom . . . he speeds up, and finally, he plays a metronome that beats up to 100,000 times per second. You can’t “see” the images anymore at this speed of cycling.

8. Heal while you cycle. While the mind is busy cycling imagery, the hands can be used to heal. Apparently, this can also be used remotely—hands free. To learn Bill’s cycling method in more detail, listen to his Sounds True audio program Hands-On Healing or attend one of his workshops.
